Just Friends?
Kagome POV
I walked over to the tree where I had hung my jacket I was looking for and heard Inuyasha and Miroku talking quitely while bathing in the hot springs near where we were staying for the night.
"Look Inuyasha, if you want her to come back for you, you have to tell her," Miroku said, acting smart like he knew all about women. I stopped where I stood and decided to listen to their conversation. Hmmf, I thought, they're always sneaking up on me and Sango while we're bathing, might as well hear what they're talking about. Of course, I also wanted to see what 'her' exactly they were talking about.
"What am I going to tell her?" an angry Inuyasha grumbled.
Miroku replied, "Well, tell her your feelings. Tell her you love her. Or, you could show her your feelings, if you know what I mean," he emphasized the word show, wiggling his eyebrows and sheepishly grinning.
"Keh," came Inuyasha's standard response. "She should already know. I'd think it was obvious."
I snuck a peak at his face. He was blushing, not something I'd get to see him do too often. Who were they talking about? Kikyo? Probably. I sighed and my hands clenched into fists. I shouldn't be mad, I thought. Kikyo was his first love. He'd never forget about her. Stupid dog demon, why the hell does he have to be so loyal? It wasn't Kikyo I was mad about, I even feel sorry for her, since Naraku tricked her to her death and all. It was all Inuyasha's fault, why does he have to show feelings for both of us? He does show feelings for me, right? Right?!
"But what about the future Inuyasha?" Miroku's voice interupted my second guessings. "She always there for you when you want her, she could just leave again and one day it'll be for good. When we defeat Naraku, she might be out of your life forever. She has no reason to stay with you, not yet anyway. Propose to her like I did with Sango, then she'll be sure to be with you forever."
Oh, I thought glumly. So it must be about Kikyo. She's only there when Inuyasha needs him, and when we defeat Naraku her soul will probably go back to rest unless she has a reason to stay on Earth. It's either that or she'll take Inuyasha with her to hell.
My mind pondered over the conversation I overheard at the hot springs while we ate our dinner of river fish and rice balls. I was quiet while everyone was talking about the direction we were heading toward next.
"Hey Kagome," Inuyasha said with his mouth stuffed. "You gonna eat that?" He pointed to my untouched fish. I shook my head, and he took it while Shippo was eying him.
"Sheesh Inuyasha," Shippo glared at him. "Have some manners, why don't you? Kagome's a lady, you shouldn't eat with your mouth full and ask for her food."
Inuyasha looked at me to see if I was going to agree with Shippo before he hit him in the head.
"Oww!" Shippo whined. "Why'd you do that for?"
"I think if Kagome cared, she would have said something," he said before stuffing his face with the rest of Shippo's food.
"Hey!! Inuyasha, you big jerk! Gimme that!" Shippo tugged at Inuyasha's red robe of the fire rat. I sighed.
Sango stopped Shippo before Inuyasha hurt him again, "Come on, you guys, do you have to fight like this every single night?"
"I wouldn't if the little fox would just mind his own business," Inuyasha said, crossing his arms.
"I wouldn't if the big dog would just act a little more human," Shippo said, imitating him. Inuyasha hit him again.
I sighed again.
"Kagome, is something wrong? Usually you would have already made sure they stopped," a concerned Miroku asked, finally noticing my sighing.
I shook my head, "Just a little tired." Soon, everyone was sleeping. I was in my sleeping bag, gazing at the stars. Sango was right, it is like this every night. Inuyasha treats everybody the same. Everybody except for Kikyo. He'd never act like that in front of her, never stuff his face like that. Does that mean he only likes me as a friend, like Miroku and Sango? I drifted off, my thoughts provoking nightmares that were not about algebra or school, but about Inuyasha with Kikyo, not me.
I hope you liked the first chapter! I have many ideas, but if you ever want to suggest anything you can! Also tell me if there are any grammar mistakes.
